    White rice in the US is enriched with various vitamins, in a sad attempt to replace the nutrition stripped from milling away the outer part and bran. Better to just eat brown rice, though it also has more arsenic. Ah, isn’t modern food lovely.

      There are so many whole grains besides rice though. And in theory they aren’t arsenic-laden…

        Sure. I just meant as far as rice goes. Quinoa is a good one, or amaranth, buckwheat or even corn.
